I don't think so. I've been busy lately, and feel worn thin. My instinct and cultural expectations assume that I need rest and leisure. I don't really want either; I want more life. I would much rather have more energy than having less things tax my current energy.
This is how I picture heaven. We will not be rested in heaven because we are watching sunsets on the beach and birdwatching during the day. Heaven will be restful because we will be full of eternal life and won't grow tried. We will praise the lord with all zeal and fervency and never grow weary.
Being worn out now makes me long for that wonderful age. Yet, is it possible to have a little more of that life now, in this body? I hope so.
